For the main gnuplot executable, binary.o should not be linked in. 
 (Either bin_hook.o is a replica of binary.o or it is empty, depending 
on a configure switch.)

I've looked at this.  I can't seem to generate a representative 
makefile.all.  (I'm not on windows.)  But I think the attached patch 
should fix the problem.  Please give it a try.

BTW, why is makefile.all in the CVS source tree, if it is to be 
generated by automake?
